O Come Let Us Adore Him

December 25, 2017 (259/365)

Oh, come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!

Oh, come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.

Come and behold Him, born the King of angels;

Oh, come, let us adore Him; Oh, come, let us adore Him;

Oh, come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels; Sing in exultation;

Sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above!

Glory to God! Glory in the highest!

Oh, come, let us adore Him; Oh, come, let us adore Him;

Oh, come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;

Jesus, to thee be all glory giv’n.

Son of the Father, now in flesh appearing;

Oh, come, let us adore Him; Oh, come, let us adore Him;

Oh, come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.

- Burton Hillis

I really miss my Mom today. Christmas Eve was her favorite day of the year. But she is here in our hearts and in the packages that are wrapped in paper that she chose for us.
